Homesteads.R Residence and Cultivation

We extract the following rulings
from Copps Settlers Guide:
The refusal OF Il wife to live on
homestead, provided the husband com.
plies with The law, will not iniure his
rights.
ia man and woman, after making
each homestead entry, may marry
without ingalidating their rights, if the
law IS complied with as to cultivation.
Either homestead may, if they choose,
be committed.
Where man and woman marry af-
ter each has made homestead entry of
adjoining land, they may live IN a
house built on the dividing line be-
tween the two homesteads.
Residence in double house, built on
the dividing line between adjoining
homesteads, is residence in compliance
with the law.
After homestsader has completed
the term of five years, a further resi-
dence is not required to entitle him to
patent.
Residence for the period of 1--WE years
from date of entry on the tract claimed
is a compliance with the Homestead
Law; but the question of such resi-
dence may under proper restriction be
investigated at any time before issu-
ance of patent.
Where homestead claimant has fail
ed to comply with the law in the mat
ter of residence, he may, where he has
been prevented by circumstances be-
yond his control, and his good faith is
evident, be allowed additional time to
comply Herewith.
a party who enters homestead and
attempts to acquire title thereto by go.
Ing upon the land and remaining over
night once or twice in six months, fails
to establish legal residence; anl
where it is shown that such failure tt
comply with the provisions Of the Law
was not the result of ignorance or @
uncomfortable circumstances, the entr,
should be cancelled.
A party while having an actual resi-
dence on his claim. may work elsewher,
for other people few weeks at a time
Where a qualified party desires t,
make both a homestead and simbe
culture entry, he may commence con

A minors entry is cancelled, but h

Our Town.

Wess'ngton Springs is situated at the
eastern'foot of the Washington Hills
Its altitude is about 500 feet higher
than that Of Huron and affords a beau
utul view OF the surrounding country.
1t derived its name from the springs
that gush out from the Hills, and at
ford an ineNhaustabIe supply of the pu-
rest water. There are also large sui
phur springs, and and one said TO be
strongly impregnated with iron. These
springs are already famous for their
medicinal qualities and cause our town
to be called the Saratoga of Dakota"
1t is the county seat of Jerauld county
and is in nearly the exact geographical
center of the county, sixteen miles west
OF Woonsocket and about twenty-five
miles north of Plankinton. 1t has a
Methodist Episcopal church, and NO sa-
looms. 1t contains two hotels and one
restaurant, two general merchandise
stores, one hardware store, two farm
implement shops, one drug store, one
bank, one barber shop, three feed sta.
bles, one livery stable, and one coal and
feed store. 1t is an excellent location
for flour mill and creamery, as the
water power is good and the surround
ing country demands them.
Dakota ought to be happy. She has

be wise to- turn friendly eye TOWARD
central Dakota about now. Some o
these days this modest region will stel
up and take what it wants and thanl
nobody. The "barren waste" business
is getting to old to do service any long
er. The section known az Central Da
kota is growing as fast, perhaps faster
than any other section of the territory
Its towns are booming, its people ar,
thriving, it's population is increasing
as if by magic. The men who do no
realize this, but who plod along, hear
ing only the buzzing Of their own little
hamlets and thinking it the murmur O
the whole territory, are in danger o
being run over. There's a signlfican

Young Men And Single Life.

Brooklyn Magazine.
1t is undoubtedly true that a single
life is not without its advantages for
some. There are hundreds OF young
men, as there are like number OF
young women, to whom married life
would be unsuitable and unwise. 1t
is an inexcusable Gin for any young
man ofhereditary ill-health or deform-
ity to assume marriage, and to such a
one single life has advantages, even
though it holds out few pleasures.
But that young man who is pos
sessed OF every bodily and mental
equipment, and marries not. fails in
one of the most-palpable duties oflife.
He deprives himself OF lies most re-
fined an exalted pleasures, OF some OF
its strongest incentives to virtue and
activity. and sets an example UNI
worthy of imitation. Nothing has,
or should have, n greater refining or
moralizing influenza to n young man
than marriage. Ii he remains unmar-
ried. he lays himself open to alluring
vices that have no place in his eye or
mind when hisattentions or affections
are centerei upon adevoted wife. Mar
riage changes the current OF mans
feelings, and gives him q center for his
thoughts, his affections and his acts.
1t renders him more virtuous, more
wise, and is an incentive to put forth
his best exertions to attain position
in commercial and social circles. 1t
is conceded that marriage will increase
the cares OF a young man which he
would not encounter IL he remained
single, but it must be granted. on the
other hand, that it heightens the
pleasures OF lite. II marriage, in some
instances within our knowledge, has
seemed to be but hinderance to
certain success, the countless instances
must not be forgotten where it has
proved to be the incentive which has
called forth the best part OF man'sna-
ture, reused him from selfish apathy
and inspired in him those generous
principles and high resolves which
have helped to develop him into a
character known, loved, and honored
By all within the sphere OF its infiu-
ence. Matrimony, it is true. ischarge-
able with numberless solicitudes and
responsibilities, and this all young
men should fully understand before
entering upon it, but it is also full OF
joy and happiness that is unknown
to the bachelor.
